[wplug] 64 bit processor

[Hosey, Chester]

You might want to clarify architecture (there are many 64-bit ones),
but offhand I believe Debian should support what you've got.

I'm assuming you mean IA64, which is platform supported by Debian. 
Just in case, they support Alpha and SPARC-64 as well, although 
most of the userspace SPARC apps are 32-bit (not that you'd 
generally notice, but...).

Anyone have experience with IA64 distros?

Chet

Hello,
I recently purchased a computer with a 64 bit
processor. I want to put a version of linux on it but
am not sure which one to go with because I am not sure
if any of the distros have support or compatibility
issues with the  processor. If anyone knows a distro
that is compatible with it please tell me.
Thanks,
Steve
